Default Need Deeper exhaust, true duals?

Right now I have Lt's ory and magnaflow catback and a cut out on my 2000 TA. It is very loud but not as deep as I would like it to be. I was wondering would it be better sounding if I just ran two pipes all the way back with no mufflers with tips or should I run a x or H pipe. I kind of thinking something cheap. What do you guys think.

My friend has your set up and it sounds good. Changing the exhaust won't make it deeper. Your trying to make it sound like a Mustang or somethin and it just never will. IMO Trans Am's with tru duals dumped with no tips under the bumper look stupid.

If I did it I'm not going to dump them. Its really loud with the cut out off but I hate it when trucks are deeper than I am.

Hey 99transamls1....your setup is what I'm looking for as I have the TSP true duals with 16" bullets. I can get you a video clip if you want. I love the sound of the duals, just I need to go a bit quieter as my gf drives with me more, and I'd rather listen to her (call me dumb). Anyways, if you want to work out a trade let me know

Hey 99 TA:

I just put a LM2 on my stock firebird, I wonder if you can get the LM2 muffler and swap it out for the Dynomax. At 2000 rpm it is low frequency and boomy.

Just a thought.

Anything without mufflers on the LS1 is going to sound raspy and crackly for the most part. If you want deep, I'd suggest true duals with a H-pipe and Classic Chambered mufflers. Adding the chambered mufflers will add a minimal cost of just running straight pipe out the back, but it will sound 100 times better. Easily one of the best setups I have ever heard.

Or your other relatively cheap option is to add cats and some sort of bullet to your I-pipe and keep the Magnaflow exhaust. The Magnaflow loses all of its deep tone with ORY and LTs.

Either setup would be a lot better sounding that what you currently have.

I'm using duals with an H and Flowtech Raptors, and it's pretty deep. Deeper than the other dual setups I've used

H is deeper/more aggresive/louder than the X, although the X gives you slightly more power.
